  “We went there yesterday for a family wedding and the location, food and service were all fantastic. They really went out of their way to make it a special occasion for the young couple. The wasn't normal pub grub....and it was all the better for it. If I want cheap food for the calories, I'll go to McDonalds. If I want tasty food full of flavour then come here. It is a destination pub and one worth the journey. Oh and the tap water has iced to perfection. Lovely owner who cares as it is their business, not some manager parachute in.”

  “Wow. what an amazing location and such an amazing manager in Lesley. Arrived and sat in the garden - good quality everything and people cannot do enough for you. Thanks for your help as well with the heat and a continual supply of water whilst we were having a few other drinks … keep up the great work and professional attitude … and having witnessed some people taking the mickey about water … dont them get to you - there is always them that want something for nothing - and you did loads to help them buy supplying so so much water.”

  “A great setting and well looked after premises. The staff were amazing (Although one slight Black mark, we did have to wait a while for a drink to turn up, but they were busy.) The food was lovely, we had Sunday Roast. The portion and amount of veg were good. The only think stopping the 5-star rating was that the amount of gravy on the main and the ice cream with the desert. Both were a little stingey. Would definitely recommend and go again, though.”

  “Such a friendly welcoming pub in a pretty village. The food we had was outstanding and more akin to a fine dining restaurant than a pub but without the astronomical prices. Absolutely delicious. Hubby had the duck breast with delicious beetroot. This was gluten free and there were 6 gluten free main course options on the menu and one vegan. I had the salmon with the most amazing Rosti and gorgeous creamy sauce.. Followed by chocolate fudge cake which was a torte to die for served with malted milk ice cream and a warm blackberry and walnut Bakewell tart with blackberry ripple ice-cream, which was a nice twist on the usual Bakewell tart. Our bill was about £77 in total including 2 cokes and a J2o. The atmosphere is lovely as are all the staff. This is the second time we’ve been and both times have been wonderful. We shall be back! Highly recommend this pub.”

  “Lovely pub in a beautiful village. The food was not your usual “pub grub” but a lovely take on a variety of dishes. It’s vegetarian friendly. The staff were really nice and accommodating. We sat out side but there is a lot of seating inside too. Would definitely recommend.”

  “It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. A lovely warm welcome from the host, who made us feel relaxed from the start, despite us being fiveish minutes late! The menu was varied, and we both could've chosen other items to what we did and still enjoyed it, I'm sure! The food was brilliantly presented, hot and plentiful for us. We opted for Scallops, Black pudding and a Pea and Truffle Puree and some Hambleton bakery bread to start...polished it! We then had the Beef Fillet with a Bourguignon Pie, and Venison Haunch, both which were cooked perfectly and went down a treat. I was the only one to venture further with a Sticky Coffee and Walnut Dessert with Chocolate Ganache and Crème Anglaise while the partner had a lovely coffee. The dessert was delicious, but maybe could've been a bit more sticky(sauce over the sponge maybe?), it didn't stop me getting it in my belly though! We left happy, full, satisfied and up for coming back, hoping to squeeze in a Sunday Lunch sometime. Beautiful place, beautiful food and wonderful staff. Thank you very much 😁”

  “I was extremely impressed upon my first visit to the Bustard Inn for Sunday lunch. The environment is warm and welcoming with fantastic attention to detail, even down to the beautiful presentation of the meals served. The food quality was fantastic and the customer service was great with very friendly and attentive staff. I definitely recommend a visit to anyone passing and shall be returning again very soon.”

  “A fantastic find! We were out and about in the area and called in last minute for lunch. The baked camembert starter was fantastic, and our main courses were beautifully cooked. We couldn't fault anything at all. Our servers and the bar staff were all very friendly, welcoming, and couldn't do enough for us. We would recommend a visit and hope to come back soon!”
